Application filed December 3, 1914.

lle it know n that l. HENRY RUPPEL, a citizen of the l'nited States. residing at Cleveland. in the (.'ounty oiu Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented eertain new and useful lrnprovenients in Blue-Flaine ll'iek Oilllnrners. ol which the following is a specification.'reference being had therein to the aeerinpanying drawing.

My invention.relates to improvements in blue Ilaine wiel; oil burners.

rl`lie object of niy invention to provide a burner ot' 'this eliaraeter in which the supporting int-aus for the perforated eoinbus tion section also serves as a nieans for regnlating the upward nioveinent of the wich.

A still further object of iny invention is to provide a siinple, cheap and more eileetive burner of this eliaraeter having Certain deL tails ot structure and operation lhereinafter niore fully set forth.

ln the accompanying drawings-Figure l is a vertical sertional view taken through my improved burner and showing the perfon atedeoinlnistion section thereon. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of Fig. 1 with the eoinbustion section ieinoved. Fig. 3 is a bottoni perspective view ot' the conibined Coinloustion seetion. sufkiporting ring and wiel; stop.

Referring now to the drawings, l repre` sents the inner' wielt tube ot' niy iinproved burner. and 2 the outer wieh tube, which are arranged sonie distanee apart and between which is vertically inovable the wick 3. all oi whieh is well understood by those skilled in the art and. needs no further deseription. rlhe outer wiel; tube 2. adjacent its upper end has a ringi secured thereto by indentiug the inetal and provided at its upper end with an outwardly extending horizontally arranged tlange 5. 'l'he outer end ol this liange 5 is turned downwardly. as indirated at 3. and provided on opposite sides with the eut'away portions T. the purpose ot' whit-; will h" later desrrilied.

The upper edge of the upwardlyl turned portion ot the ring l0 terminate ment with the said wielt a horizontal alinetube.

s at a point in Resting upon the upper face of the flange 5, is a ring l5, which is slightl;7 bent down` ward and has itsl outer edge provided with an upwardly extending annular flange lo,

which is drawn inwardly at a slight angle,

as is shown in Fig. l of the drawings. 'l'he ring 15 is 17,

for supplying the spat-.e 18

provided with a series of openings between the outer perforated combustion tube 19 and the shell 20 with air,

the ring 15 is provided oppositely arranged inenihers 2l. end downwardlyY alid inwardly and to enter the oppositely arranged portions 7 of theA flange 5. and ring is turned they travel around lower edge of the do'w'nwardlyT the upper turned portion G of the tlang 5 and loelt the ring l5 thereto.

Bv this strutture it. will be seen that the ring l5 is readily renn vable tor the, purpose of removing or cleaning the ,wick 3 when necessary.

The inner wichY tube l. is provided with a transverse plate 25 having an opening 2G therethrough and throughavhieh extends a vertiea lly disposed rod 27, which is sup-'110 ported at its lower end in the burner .and

l'extends some distance above the upper end of the wick-tubes. Loosely mounted upon the upper end of the rod 27 is a skeleton frame 28, which is adapted to support the combustion tubes by means of the ring 29, carried by the inner perforated tube 14, all of which is well understood .and a description of the operation thereof is not thought necessary.

i From the foregoing description it willbe seen that I provide a simple and effective means for supporting the combustion section and at the same time providing the said supporting means with wick stops to limit the upward movement of the wick 3, and at the same time providing means whereby the said wick stops and supporting ring can lie readily removed for removing orrenewing the Wick when necessary.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. Aburner of the character described, comprising an inner and an outer wick tube, a flange supported by the outer -wick tube below its upper end, a' ring removably sel cured to the ange and adapted to support a combustion section, and inwardly extending wick engaging members carried by the ring and extending over the space between the inner and outer wick tubes.

2. A burner of the character described, comprising an inner and an outer wick tube, a flange carried by the outer wick tube below its upper end, a ring removably secured to 'said flange and adapted to support a combustion section, upwardly extending wick engaging members carried by the inner edge of the ring and having inwardly and horizontally arranged pointed ends extending over the space between the inner and outer wick tubes.

3. A burner of the character described, comprising an inner and an outer wick tube, liange carried by the outer wick tube below its upper end, a ring resting upon the flange and adapted to support a coml'mstion tube, said flange ha ving oppositely arranged cut-away portions, inwardly extending niembers carried by the ring and adapted to pass through the cut-away portions in the flange and locking the ring to the fiange, upwardly extending wick engaging members formed lntegral with the ring and havinginwardly extending horizontally arranged pointed ends extending over the space between the inner and outer wick tubes.

et. A burner of the character described, comprising an inner and an outer wick tube, a horizontally arranged fiange secured to the outer wick tube below its upper end and having a downwardly extending outer edge, said flange having oppositely arranged cut-away portions, a ring-resting upon'the upper vface of the ange and slanting downwardly and provided with openings and having its outer edge turned upwardly, inwardly and down wardly extending members carried by the lower face of the 'ring and adapted to pass through the cut-away portions of the flange' and engage/ the lower edge of the -downwardly turned portion of the flange and lock` a horizontally arranged flange carried by' the inner wick tube and adapted to support an inner combustion tube, a horizontally arranged flange carried by the outer wick tube below its upper end and having oppositely arranged cut-away portions, a ring supported by thehorizontally arranged flange and slightlyl bent downwardly and having an obliquely arranged upwardly extending flange at its outer edge, members carried by the lower face of the ring andvadapted to pass through the cut-awa portion of the fiange and engaging the lower face thereof for locking the same to the flange, and upwardly extending pointed wick stops carried by the inner edve of the ring and turned inwardly over tIie space between the inner and outer wick tubes.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aliix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. HENRY RUPIEL. Witnesses:
